I got $5000 refunded: Someone has posted a new method that get's a refund from paypal within just a few hours with one email https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/need-a-paypal-refund-for-your-bfl-purchase-295187 - I got my $5,000 back the same day I mailed. BFL are known at very high level at Paypal now so this is a slam dunk refund.

Just to drive one of Phinn's points deeper into everybody's head:
"Sales are final" does not apply unless there was an actual sale taking place. If you have not received your unit, there was no sale - only a (pre)order.

Dear Big Fuckin' Liars
Thanking for informing me that you will no longer be providing PSUs with any of your Bitcoin miners and asking me if I would mine.
The answer is yes, I will mine, but it won't be with a BFL product. I look forward to my refund of which now I'm formally requesting.
Sincerely,

Good luck! I was able to get my refund for an order for two 50GHs units purchased in April and two 10 GHs upgrades purchased in June. Going to BFL for the refund was denied. Going though Paypal for the April unit was closed since it was too old but the upgrades did get refunded by opening a case with Paypal.
I called my credit card company (AMEX) to dispute the 2 units. They opened the dispute with Paypal and then Paypal provided the refund.
Hope things work out for you!
Even through the hell this guy had to obtain a simple little refund, he still had the compassion to wish BFL good tidings. That's a class act in my book.
To follow his lead I, too, hope things work out for you as you bleed through your funds in the form of refunds.
Remember folks, nobody moves up in queue position when the last one in is the one no longer awaiting BFL's Magically -ROI Black Box.

Started with strategies to get BFL or PayPal to issue refunds, but migrated to dinging them with the FTC, to calling the FBI, to posting PayPal contacts and phones.
At the end of the day, if you want a refund, your options seem to be:
-Begging BFL for a refund and/or alerting the FTC is the recourse for those that paid with BTC
-Call PayPal if within 45 days of purchase to trigger a refund.
-Call your Credit Card company if after 45 days from the pay date if used PayPal.
The deal about BFL not shipping within PayPal's shipping terms for vendors, well that's a clause between PayPal and the vendor. Non-compliance won't entitle the buyer to a refund beyond 45 days of purchase, just gives PayPal a reason to drop BFL from using their platform in future. Breach of a business contract is a civil matter between PayPal and BFL.
I understand folks are uber-upset at the prospect of receiving their unit when difficulty is incredibly high, but naturally, there were no representations from BFL with respect to this.
As things are, my two orders will arrive way too late.

As I see it, a BFL investor is able to get a refund (for now), but they have to jump through a myriad of hoops and heartaches to get it. At the end of the day, BFL is still out the same amount of money as if they were to kindly give the same exact refund when it was first asked for.
Ask yourself this: Are you more apt to spread cheers of a company that quickly gave a refund or one that told you "Sorry, Charlie, no refunds!" I assume the former, for the latter is a piece of shit type of company.
Bottom line, BFL will be out the same exact amount of money when people get their refunds the hard way at the expense of dragging the good name of Chris Vlesides (the KC photograpy, Sonny's step dad) to the ground, taking every single person currently working for BFL with him.
This Sonny Vleisides is one fucked up dude.
Butterfly Labs has not played nice from the get-go, and still to this day continues to stick it up their client's asses, eventually closing down shop and heading south.
BF Labs Ins. is nothing but a crock and should be avoided at all cost. This is not an opinion! This is fact that I am stating. Josh Zerlan has my full name and address on file so that BFL's lawyers can contact me if they too are not pussies.

I just got my refund from my order for 2x50gh units (Ordered mid-June). BFL refused, I contacted American Express and they were able to refund my account. My BFL order status now says that each unit has been refunded.
